Paris through the Window, Chagall

This avant-garde painting portrays a colorful landscape of Paris, the artist's favorite city, seen from a flowered balcony. The sky and the window exude vivid colors.
The main character, seemingly a self-representation of the artist, is a two-toned man with pairs of complementary colors depicting dualities: night and day life, bohemia and loneliness, as well as love and heartbreak. The scene contrasts his innocent childhood in Vitebsk with his life in a vibrant, unrestrained Paris of the Belle époque.
The painting includes mysterious and humorous elements, such as a parachutist holding himself and unusual figures, reflecting the painter's rich and complex artistic life.
